Pumpkin Pancakes...A New Tradition

So, Mason has started pre-school! I am so excited for him and so far he LOVES it. Each day he goes to school, he comes home singing another song and babbles on and on about what he did.

I remember the first day of school with fond memories and would like Mason to have the same memories. I wanted to make the first day of school extra special so I decided to make him a batch of pumpkin pancakes that just screams the first day of school.

I can't take credit for coming up with this recipe all on my own. I looked around for different recipes, but in the end, I decided to use the recipe from Martha Stewart.

Melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat; pour in 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.

Cook pancakes about 3 minutes per side; serve with butter and syrup.

Makes 8 to 10.

These pancakes turned out to be quite delicious. They were a big hit with the whole family. The pancakes were fluffy and moist, not at all heavy. The pumpkin taste was just right and the spices added a feeling of fall that was perfect for the first day of school. They were very simple and I wound up freezing the leftovers so I have them handy whenever I need a quick breakfast.
